Chapter 91: Spirit Leaf

Chen Mobai spread out his right hand, fingers open.

A buzzing sound filled the air.

A green spirit energy arrow instantly shot out from the void behind him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The five Black Plague Birds that had just rushed up the cliff were repelled, and then the green arrows exploded, turning them into clouds of blood mist.

Whoosh!

On the other side, Wang Yuanwu was no less impressive. His crimson flying sword danced like flames, carrying violent spirit energy as it slashed through the swarm of Black Plague Birds in the air. Several beasts that couldn't dodge in time were turned into charcoal.

Gao Tuo and the others also launched their attacks.

An arrow flew out, accurately killing a Black Plague Bird, but there was no time to reload. Gao Tuo, with his right hand still recovering from a recent injury and not fully functional, could only wield his hook-shaped magical tool to fight the Black Plague Birds that had rushed to the front.

Fortunately, he had Shi Pengyi and his fellow disciples by his side.

Luo Lin held a black-armored shield, her movements agile, and she skillfully blocked the wind arrows spewed from the Black Plague Birds' beaks.

Shi Pengyi, displaying the strength of the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, wielded a purple flying sword like a bolt of lightning, moving back and forth to suppress and kill the Black Plague Birds that had bypassed Chen Mobai and Wang Yuanwu.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly and then fired the remaining 18 spirit energy arrows from his back.

With a series of bangs.

The area above the cliff instantly cleared.

"Second-stage ones are coming!"

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Yuanwu's expression turned serious.

Chen Mobai was startled and looked at the sky outside Qingguang Island. Sure enough, two giant birds, three to four times larger than the ordinary Black Plague Birds, appeared in the clouds. One of the Black Plague Bird Kings had only one wing left, its eyes bloodshot, coldly staring at them.

It was the "Heavenly Wood Divine Light" that had erupted from the spirit tree they were protecting that had evaporated one of its wings, nearly bringing it down.

"Everyone, be on guard and protect yourselves."

"There are still five Heavenly Wood Divine Lights left on the western shore. After one of the bird kings lost a wing, the remaining two won't dare to approach without full confidence."

"But we may have to face the Black Plague Birds' direct guards, equivalent to the later stages of Qi Cultivation. No matter how dangerous it is, we must not let our line of defense fall."

Seeing the spirit tree being targeted by the bird king, Wang Yuanwu couldn't help but sweat, but he was experienced and, despite the immense pressure, calmly observed the situation and issued orders.

Amidst the screeching sounds.

Sure enough, a group of birds, twice the size of ordinary Black Plague Birds, left the side of the bird king, riding the wind and flying towards them.

Boom!

Before the large birds arrived, a massive tornado formed on the shore, stirring up huge waves that pressed towards the spirit tree on the cliff.

The two bird kings had jointly used their innate abilities to support the direct guards while also testing whether Qingguang Island had any more trump cards.

Seeing the massive tornado, which could engulf the entire cliff, Chen Mobai's expression changed slightly.

He clutched his last trump card, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.

But he first looked at Wang Yuanwu, and as expected, even he had a second-stage spirit talisman. The leader of the Divine Wood Sect had even more trump cards.

Wang Yuanwu gritted his teeth and nodded to another Divine Wood Sect disciple, who immediately took out a talisman and inserted it into the spirit tree.

Whoosh!

Like a gentle breeze, the originally bare spirit tree, after the talisman was inserted, sprouted a branch that glowed with a clear light. In the blink of an eye, a green bud grew, quickly developing into a palm-sized green leaf.

Wang Yuanwu swung his flying sword, cutting off the green leaf.

"Go!"

After taking a pill to restore his spirit energy, the Divine Wood Sect disciple who had inserted the talisman poured all his spirit energy into the cut leaf. Instantly, a bright light shone, forming a huge light shield that covered the entire cliff.

Just then, the massive tornado, brought by the two second-stage bird kings, hit with the waves.

Boom!

A massive tremor, as if the earth was shaking, Chen Mobai used his wooden umbrella as a support to steady himself.

[The Heavenly Wood Divine Light array has quite a few functions!]

He thought about this, wondering if there were other functions besides the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and the green leaf light shield.

"The large birds are coming, 20 in total. Each small team deals with 4. The later stages of Qi Cultivation go first, deal with as many as you can. The rest of the Black Plague Birds are handled by the other team members. Remember to protect yourselves!"

Wang Yuanwu quickly assigned tasks and then took the lead, his crimson flying sword swirling to encircle the three leading large birds.

Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and chose one of the large birds.

But he looked at the nearly hundred ordinary Black Plague Birds led by these large birds, fearing that the other team members couldn't handle them. Before engaging the large bird, he threw out four more green arrow talismans.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The large bird in front of Chen Mobai spat a gust of wind, directly shattering the green spirit energy arrows, but the remaining 23 arrows targeted the large group of Black Plague Birds rushing towards it.

Blood and black feathers splattered.

After clearing the area, Chen Mobai, holding the Five Transformations Umbrella, faced the one-meter-tall Black Plague Bird.

Buzz!

Two green wind blades extended from the Black Plague Bird's flapping wings, like two crescent moon-shaped lights, forming an "eight" and landing on Chen Mobai's head.

The umbrella opened!

The clear mist seemed to struggle under the impact of the wind blades, partially exploding, but ultimately it dissipated the attack.

"Fortunately, these large birds, though powerful in bloodline, are not adept at cultivation, and their spells' power does not exceed the limit of the Five Transformations Umbrella."

Wu Wan's expertise in appraising was trustworthy, saying that this defensive talisman could withstand attacks from the later stages of Qi Cultivation.

It held up against the clearly peak first-stage Black Plague Bird.

But it seemed to be at its limit.

Chen Mobai looked at the two new scratches on the umbrella after retracting it, deciding to focus on dodging in the next fight.

He wasn't Wang Yuanwu, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, with excellent sword skills, rich combat experience, and the Divine Wood Sect's talismans and magical tools, capable of fighting three large birds without falling behind.

Screech!

After the two wind blades were deflected, the large bird spat out a series of wind arrows. Chen Mobai didn't want to use the Five Transformations Umbrella to block them again and threw out two wooden shield talismans.

But how could low-grade first-stage talismans withstand the large bird's wind arrows? In just two breaths, the two wooden shields in the air shattered and dissipated into spirit energy.

However, Chen Mobai had already taken advantage of this time to move to another position.

The wind arrows missed, splashing dust on the cliff.

At this moment, the five small teams had already begun their battles, but not everyone was skilled or lucky. Soon, Chen Mobai heard a scream.

Someone had died.
